Graphing the Current Reality* Groups of 4* Make a graph of the current reality in your classroom and teaching practice as it relates to the Common Core Learning Standards for ELA.* Each person has one color of post-it notes. Label 10 post-its with #’s from 1-10 (corresponding to the 10 questions on the current reality handout).* Begin with question 1. Take one minute to think and choose where you feel you are on the continuum (1-4). Every member should place their post-it note on the graph for question 1. * Go onto the next question in the same manner. Allow space for discussion as you post the notes or after all questions when the graph is complete.
